About this tour
Two actors lead you through a treasure-hunt narrative around the Louvre Palace's exterior courtyards and grounds. Over 90 minutes, you'll piece together clues tied to a stolen artifact, moving past the pyramid, Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, and Tuileries gardens whilst learning the palace's history and architectural highlights. This is outdoor detective work, not a museum walk—you're solving the case alongside a Louvre staff member who knows every corner.

What to expect
Expect a theatrical experience blending history with puzzle-solving. You'll start outside the museum proper and work through courtyards and surrounding grounds, interviewing witnesses (acted by your guides) and examining clues tied to a vanished treasure. The narrative unfolds as you walk, with genuine architectural and historical details woven into the mystery. It's part tour, part game—your group becomes investigators rather than passive listeners. Pace is leisurely; you're stopping frequently to listen and think through clues.
Good to know
This tour stays outside the Louvre Museum buildings—no ticket needed for the galleries. Wear comfortable walking shoes; you'll cover ground around the palace exterior. Public transport links are nearby if you need them. The experience works best if you engage with the puzzle elements rather than expect traditional museum-style education.
